Type-Moon, but the Servant is Tom

Chapter 27: Chaos and Evil Arrival

(TN: Fujimaru Ritsuka can be both male and female and in this story Ritsuka is Female)

"Well, Mashu-chan, it seems like it." Another orange-haired girl named Fujimaru Ritsuka tightly embraced the girl she called Mashu with her right hand, while her left hand casually rested on a soft surface. With serious face spoke.

"Um... Senpai?" Feeling the pressure from Ritsuka's hand, Mashu's face immediately turned red.

"We have arrived ten years before the singularity F Holy Grail War for some reason. Two days ago, the anomaly index here reached an extreme value. First, our mission is to investigate the current situation," said Fujimaru Ritsuka, furrowing her eyebrows and pretending to look into the distance. However, her hand movements did not weaken at all; she continued to sweep away her hand.

And at some point, Fujimaru Ritsuka gradually began to take on a chibi-like appearance!

At this moment, Mashu couldn't help but swallow her saliva. Fujimaru Ritsuka would always enter this chibi state for some inexplicable reason. The cause was unknown, but what could be confirmed was that every time she fully entered this state, she would become trash among trash, not only trash but also extremely obsessed with spending money.

In short, it was really difficult to assess Fujimaru Ritsuka's mental state at this time.

Seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka indeed starting to touch her inappropriately, Mashu finally managed to say the words to stop her, "Senpai, what are you doing... Senpai, this is too strange!"

"It's okay, Mashu-chan. It's high enough here, so no one will notice," Fujimaru Ritsuka's right hand gradually explored upwards, finally gripping Mashu's chin and enticingly said, "And the connection must have been severed at the corner, so there's no problem at all."

"Even... even if that's the case...!" Listening to Fujimaru Ritsuka's description, Mashu admitted that she was somewhat tempted, but there was still a trace of reason left. "Ah~."

"...Ahem, in fact, it's still connected." Just as Mashu was still struggling, a voice came from beside them, followed by a light curtain appearing in front of the two. A single ponytailed man wearing a white coat appeared in the light curtain.

"Tch, Doctor, you're here." Seeing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka's celestial aura instantly diminished, as if the desire had completely disappeared. She casually returned to her chibi state and pushed Mashu aside, as if everything that had happened before had never occurred. It was as if she had entered a sage mode, decisively treating everything that had happened before as if it hadn't happened at all.

After Fujimaru Ritsuka stopped, it was Mashu who felt deeply disappointed, feeling empty inside. (TN: you naughty eggplant)

"Although I mentioned it before, let me clarify again because the current situation is somewhat different from the initial observations," said the man referred to as the doctor, decisively choosing to ignore what had happened earlier. "This is not a continuation or prelude of Singularity F. Although it should be roughly ten years before Singularity F in terms of time, the place you have entered seems to be the year 2012."

"Huh? Wasn't the pre-departure detection for Singularity in 1994?" Mashu, who had tidied herself up and put on glasses, asked with confusion.

"That was the case originally, but there has been a change since you arrived. The current time point shifted from 1994 to 2012, and the Humanity Foundation Value changed from C to ??? for unknown reasons. Your mission is to investigate the cause and make the necessary corrections," explained the doctor.

Upon hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but recall the several 2012 doomsday movies she had watched back then. With both hands behind her head, she lazily remarked, "2012, that's the world-ending prophecy of the Mayans, right?"

"If that's the case, then we're really in trouble..." Just as he was speaking, the doctor's image suddenly froze. "It seems like communication problems are arising again. The rest is up to... you... all."

As soon as he finished speaking, the communication with Chaldea was completely lost.

"Now... no one is interrupting us anymore."

Saying that, Fujimaru Ritsuka once again raised her wicked hands and slowly approached Mashu.

"W-Wait, Senpai!" Seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka about to continue, Mashu couldn't help but take a step back, her face flushed red once again.

However, as she stepped back, she suddenly caught sight of a very familiar person standing on a bridge below. She quickly extended her left hand to stop Fujimaru Ritsuka and pointed towards a spot diagonally below. "Wait, Senpai, look there!"

"Huh?" Noticing Mashu's reaction, Fujimaru Ritsuka stopped her actions again and turned her gaze to where Mashu was pointing.

There stood a white-haired man in casual attire, currently giving a French salute and greeting both Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu.

"Who is that person?" Fujimaru Ritsuka placed her hand on her forehead, squinting her eyes as she looked at the white-haired man.

In stark contrast to Fujimaru Ritsuka's reaction, Fou that had arrived with them in this Singularity and had been idling for quite some time noticed the white-haired man. It immediately jumped onto the railing at the edge of the building, baring its teeth at the white-haired man as if it had encountered its lifelong nemesis.

"Huh? Fou, that's dangerous!" Mashu quickly grabbed Fou, who had jumped onto the railing, and brought it back.

Observing the Fou's reaction, Fujimaru Ritsuka crossed her left arm over her chest and rested her right elbow on her left hand. She placed her hand in front of her mouth, pretending to analyze the situation deeply. "This reaction from Fou... there's no mistaking who that person is!"

"Ah, it's Merlin, right?" After closely examining the white-haired man's face, Mashu exclaimed with delight. "That's great! With Merlin here, we can find out the current situation of this Singularity. Senpai!"

Just as Fujimaru Ritsuka was about to pretend to give a profound conclusion, Mashu blurted it out, rendering Fujimaru Ritsuka's previous setup meaningless. "Well, although I should say it, I still hope to be the one to say it."

"Huh...?" Mashu tilted her head, not understanding what Fujimaru Ritsuka meant to say.

"It's nothing, let's go down, Mashu." Saying that, Fujimaru Ritsuka wrapped her arms around Mashu's neck, and in turn, Mashu lifted Fujimaru Ritsuka up in a princess carry.

"Understood, Senpai." With Fou perched on her shoulder, Mashu leaped off the rooftop while holding Fujimaru Ritsuka in her arms.
